Call for papers, videos & round tables
The European Association for Aquatic Mammals invites authors to submit abstracts and proposals for the upcoming Symposium, which is due to take place at Le Pal, France on 24th to 27th of March 2026.

Deadlines, instructions & forms
Students are particularly encouraged to submit presentations. These presentations are eligible for the Prizes for best student presentation (Oral and Poster) and for the EAAM student Grants for Symposium participation, which includes symposium fee and a contribution to housing costs during the Symposium.
Students will only be considered for both the Prize and the Grant if their abstract submission is accompanied by a support letter from their University or Professor. PhD students can equally be candidates for EAAM Student Grants and Prizes, but only if the abstract is accompanied by a declaration that a PhD grant is the only subsistence source or only marine mammal related activity.
